Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Loom NAnEMow, a

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented inthe accompanying draw- 1n w dicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the a; safety razor showing the parts in closed position; Fig. 2 is a like view of thesame showing the arts in open position; Fig. 3 is :an enlarged sectional side elevation of the safety razor showing the parts in partly closed position; Fig; 4 is a face view pithe' the safety razor.

The head sections D and D are provided on opposite sides with guards F,"=F", and between the headJsections'D, D and the clamping member A is adapted to be clamped the razor blade G provided on opposite sides with cutting edges G, Gr adapted to connect with the guards F, Fwhile shaving. The-razor blade G is-provided at its ends with notches or recesses GP adapted to 'fit the lugs B formed on the clamping member so as to hold' the razor blade G a a-inst lateralmove- Specification 01' Letters Patent.

H, H riveted or otherwise attached to the sections I, I of a handle, which latter is preferably tubular. The sections I and I are folded one upon the other, as plainly indi'cated in Fi 1, and the said sections I and I are locEed together in a folded position by the use of a locking device, such as a ring. J, for instance, fulcrumed on an eye J, secured to the free erd of the'handle section I. 'When the ban le sections I and I are closed or folded one upon the other, and

with the handle sectionI, as shown 1n Fig. 1, then the said sections I and I are locked together.

On the angular 'flange Hof the head section D is formed or secured a lug K adapted to register with and engage an aperture KI formed in the other flange H" so that when closing the handle sections I, I the lug K engages the aperture K so as to insure D, with a view to hold the same onealongside the other and thus form acontinuous head between which and the clamping memher A is clamped the-razor blade G, as indicated in Figs. 1 and Inorder to place the razor blade G in position, the head secclamping member A; so that the parts then the razor blade G is placed onto the clampingmember A with the notches G fitting the lugs B, B of the hinges connect-- sections D, D. Theo erator now swings the head sections D an each other (see Fig.3), to finally engage bring the handle sections I -and I close together, after which the ring J isswung 'over into "engagement with the handle section I to lock the said handle sections, together and to hold the several parts of the safety razor in locked position so that the parts of the safety. razor are now in position for shaving. It is understood that the front and rear' cutting edges G, G of the razor blade G extend somewhat beyond the corresponding edges of the clamping member A and the guards F and F edges G, G so-t at the said cutting edges dangerof the user cutti'ng the skin.

From' the foregoingit will e seen that the several parts of the safetti razor are connected ,with eachother and e parts can be readil opened-for insertion'or removal of the bade and closed for J securely locking and clamping the blade in position for shaving. "It will further be noticed that bythe arrangement described the safet razor can be eas ly handled and readily c eaned, and as it consists of but few parts: the costvof manufacturing the'safety razor is comparatively low'. c

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to'secnre by Letters Patent: a 1.
